RANDOM DOTS PROM SOUTHERN
LINCOLN.

At present everything At the Canyon
is almost at standstill. The South.
western Company are working shout 10
men on their mines, doing little surface
prospecting, which is very disoouragins.
as the mines are not showing up much.
The greatest depth attained is only 800
feet and when the ore pinched the lower
levels were abandoned and the South.
western folks are devoting themselves
entirely to surface prospecting, hoping to
open up another large ore body such n
they had at the Techstticup.
The Mormon settlements Of st. Thomas
and Overton are in aourishing condition.
Had it not been that our "Star Route
commissioners Of early days forced the
Mormons to abandon these settlements,
they would to-day have been the garden
spot Of Lincoln and would be the source
Of great revenue for the county. 1t il
only amatter Of short time when al
the vacant houses on the Muddy will BE-
occupied and all the available land titled,
10 the Mormons are returning there
rapidly.
The agricultural facilities Of southern
Lincoln are ct par with any country,
southern California not excepted. Tn,
soil is exceptionally prolific and water
for irrigatipg purposes, in abundance
1t is only matter Of time when south
ern Lincoln will have boom unequalet
by that Of California, and all II needs t,
accomplish it is : railroad.
The Lucky Jim mine. the property o
James Cronin, is the most promising
mine at the Canyon, - large body o
high grade orc has just been encounters
in the lower levels. The extent Of tn
deposit is not exactly known but prom
Uses to be immense.
A. G. Campbell was At Las Vega
ranch examining mining property in th
vicinity and il 10 also rumored that Mr.
Campbell has his eye on the Vega
ranch with view Of purchasing th
same.
Considerable land, located on th
Muddy, has been entered Of late, and th
people Of that section think II is sign Q
the railroad being built shortly.

PIuTE PRopHET.-Johnson Sides,

looking after the interest OF his peo-
pie and distributing chunks of wis.,

In conversation he said that he be-

cent and industrious citizens, as much
entitled to vote as white men, some
of whom, he said-and correctly, toe
don't know much more than a coy.

because they happen to have white

should be hung at once; that Indian.
should not be allowed to loaf arount
the town, playing cards and making
mischief, but compelled to confn,
themselves on their reservations an,
learn something which will be usefu
to them. He said there is better ma

diets that it will not be many year

THE London Financial News holds
that the alien land law recently en-
acted by Congress, has no effect on
mining claims, and it probably has
not if the claims are not patented.
The News says: "The mining laws
Of the United States are quite differ
ent both in spirit and in form from
the land laws. They are virtually as
liberal to aliens as to citizens, and
offer every encouragement for the in
vestment of foreign capital. When,
therefore, company processes mere
" to have mining rights there need
be little difficulty about its legal po-
sition. An Englishman can acquire
a mining claim in the United States
Territories quite as readily as an
American can, and he will be equally
we'll protected in its exercise and en-
ioyment. But when capital is asked
for in this country to build railways
or run cattle ranches or otherwise, OF
do anything involving ownership OF
real estate, investors had better be on
their guard. The law we have de-
scribed applies only to the Territories
and the District of Columbia, within
which alone Congress has jurlsdic'
ton over questions Of title. 1t has nc
validity in the States, each OF which
has its own laws Of property, but il
should be observed that most OF then
are conceived in kindred spirit t.
this Alien Act. Very few OF then
grant to foreigners the right OF hold
ing or conveying real estate, and an,
question arising on that subject be
tween an American subject and al
alien is not likely to issue to thu
aliens advantage. Anomalous as
may sound, the safest kind of proper
ty is least safe for foreigners to hol'
in the United States. They hav
little to fear with mines, but a grea
deal to be afraid of with freehold
property"
